At absolute midnight darkest, down flat on my back . . . if I remember and choose to look up . . . I can see the Stars shine the brightest.

I say Praise God, Praise God, Praise God, and that aligns me on the True North Star and I get up and travel to where I should be.

You may just be looking and traveling in the wrong direction. That could take you to a place you do not want to be.

I ask myself if there is any action I can take, right now, to prevent whatever I'm so worked up about. If there is - easy! I do it. If there isn't - I breathe, and tell myself to calm down, that it's not real, not yet. No sense in letting what might be ruin what is.

Sometimes I go have a chat with myself in the mirror. That can be anything from 'it's okay, sweetie. you'll be fine!' to 'buck up, kiddo!' The key there is to address myself the way I would someone I love. Because it's okay to love myself!!!

Serenity prayer 1st, exercise 2nd.

When I am really on that roll, its often exercise and reciting the Serenity Prayer at the same time.
